One thing to remember:

Even if old ebuilds are gone in the tree already, they still may be
installed on users systems. As a result, 'emerge --changelog' searches
for their addition-entries in ChangeLog.

So when purging ChangeLog's really becomes necessary, we might need to
keep the addition-entries back to until a once-been-stable ebuild was
superseded by another stable ebuild more than 1 year ago - or sth. similar.
